Chapter 10

Lu Ye didn’t drive today. He rode a bicycle. Ruan Qiqi sat in the back seat. Lu Ye went to the dormitory first and took the camera. The two rode all the way to the ferry.

The Xiangjiang Bridge had not been built at that time. The only way to cross the river was to take a ferry. Lu Ye went to buy a ticket, which cost four cents per person.

Because it is the dry season now, you only need to take a ride to Juzizhou and then take the temporary bridge to Hexi. If you take a ride to Hexi, it will cost eight cents.

[Juzizhou Bridge was built in 1972]

The temporary bridge

Yuelu Mountain is in Hexi. It was the first time for Ruan Qiqi to take a ferry. In fact, there were ferries in her previous life, but they were mostly used to see the scenery. She had never taken one.

Standing on the ferry, she looked left and right, and felt that Juzizhou seemed different from her previous life. Everything was new.

“Do you want to take a picture?”

Lu Ye asked with a smile.

“Okay.”

Ruan Qiqi nodded and wanted to lean on the railing to take a photo, but there were many people crowded besides the railing. She said to a young man who looked kind: “Comrade, we all come from all corners of the country and have come together for a common revolutionary goal… All people in the revolutionary team must care for each other, love each other, and help each other. Can you let me take a moment? I want to take a photo!”

Before coming to Tanzhou, she took out the energy of the high school entrance examination and memorized a large section of quotations. Now she must memorize quotations when she goes out, otherwise she will be caught by the pigtail.

The young man glanced at Lu Ye in military uniform, and immediately stood straight, as if taking an oath, and read aloud: “The army and the people are united as one. Let’s see who can defeat them. Comrade, please come over here!”

After that, he stood aside and gave them the position of the railing.

“Thank you, comrade!”

Ruan Qiqi thanked sincerely, leaned on the railing, and posed casually to enjoy the river view.

“One, two, and three… OK!”

Lu Ye took pictures very quickly and took them in two or three shots.

Ruan Qiqi gave up her position at the railing to the young man.

Arriving at Juzizhou, the two got off the ferry and walked across the temporary bridge. Hexi has been a prosperous commercial circle since ancient times. The people of Tanzhou call this part of Hexi the town of Xuanwan. The word “Xu” is pronounced as Ying, and it is the second tone, but the people of Tanzhou pronounce it as Rong, which is very interesting.

There are three famous universities in Hexi, Hunan University, University of Technology, and Normal University.

In her previous life, Ruan Qiqi wanted to go to Hunan University, and her grades were definitely no problem, but unfortunately she went to a mental hospital to attend college.

“I want to take pictures at Hunan University.”

Ruan Qiqi sighed softly, a little melancholy. She was not nostalgic for her previous life, but just a little regretful. In this life, she had to find a way to make this dream come true.

“Want to go to Hunan University?”

Lu Ye saw what she was thinking.

“Yeah.”

Ruan Qiqi did not deny it.

“Did you go to high school?”

“Yes, I did. I had good grades when I was in school.”

Ruan Qiqi was talking about the original self, who did have a high school diploma. Hunan Province still attaches great importance to education. Although the original self was a daughter, her father was a barefoot doctor and her family was well-off. The original self and her sister both went to high school.

Lu Ye smiled, “Hua University is accepting workers, peasants and soldiers as students. Your brigade should have a recommendation quota.”

He didn’t say the rest. As long as Ruan Qiqi was on the recommendation list, he could get her into Hu University.

“I’ll go back and think of a way.”

Ruan Qiqi nodded. This year’s workers, peasants and soldiers had already been recommended. She had to wait until next year. She had a year to prepare, so it was still in time.

“If you have any difficulties, you can contact me.”

Lu Ye carried a pen and a note with him. He wrote down the contact information and handed it to Ruan Qiqi.

“Okay.”

Ruan Qiqi admired his handwriting, which was as wild as he was.

She put the note in her pocket, but actually put it into the space.

The two went to HUST first. On the way, Lu Ye bought sister dumplings. Ruan Qiqi liked to eat them in her previous life. The best ones were from Huogongdian. She liked meat fillings, and Lu Ye liked sweets.

Ruan Qiqi only ordered two dumplings. Nowadays, snacks are really good and taste quite good.

Sister dumplings

Lu Ye held the bridle of the bicycle with one hand and chewed the dumplings with the other hand. He rode steadily. When they finished eating, they had already arrived at HUST.

The most famous legend of HUST is that there is no gate.

In fact, HUST really has no gate. The campus is very large, but there is no gate.

Ruan Qiqi walked around HUST and took photos. She also went to Gongda and took photos at the gate of Gongda. Lu Ye said that he would send them back to her after they were developed.

Behind Gongda is Yuelu Mountain, and there are many small paths up the mountain. Lu Ye parked the car on the campus and took her up the mountain by the small path.

[Gongda is the predecessor of Central South University, formerly known as Gongda]

Yuelu Mountain is not high, but it has beautiful scenery and great historical and cultural significance, because this mountain is related to two great men.

They first arrived at Aiwan Pavilion, which is the pavilion where Chairman Mao and Mr. Cai studied when they were young.

A little further from Aiwan Pavilion is the world-famous Yuelu Academy, and further from the academy is a thousand-year-old temple.

Ruan Qiqi took photos at every scenic spot, just like checking in in the previous life. It doesn’t matter whether you play or not, but taking photos and posting them on WeChat Moments is a must.

The two walked around the mountain and finished shooting a roll of film before going down the mountain.

Still taking the ferry across the river, Lu Ye sent Ruan Qiqi back to the guesthouse, and he was going to the hospital to see the excitement.

“Remember to call me, don’t forget!”

Ruan Qiqi made a phone gesture by her ear to remind him.

She also wanted to know if Liu Hongling’s cub had fallen, and whether Liu Hongbo’s chrysanthemum was broken.

“No!”

Lu Ye left excitedly. When passing by a fruit store, he saw a basket of processed fruits at the door. They were sold very cheaply. He hesitated for a few seconds, but finally couldn’t bear to buy them. He went to the hospital empty-handed.

He asked the nurse about Liu Hongling’s situation. She was lucky. She didn’t lose the baby after all the trouble. She just had a miscarriage and needed to rest for a few days.

He went to the obstetrics and gynecology inpatient building, where Liu Hongling lived in a single room. Lu Desheng was not there. He probably couldn’t save his face and left in shame.

The door of the ward was closed, but the soundproofing was not very good. The scolding of his stupid elder sister Lu Chuncao and the crying of Liu Hongling could be heard.

“We can’t keep this child. We have to get rid of it. Mom will find you another partner. That loser He Jianjun won’t work.”

“I won’t take it. I want He Jianjun. None of the men you’ve found can compare to He Jianjun.”

Liu Hongling cried and was very determined. She was determined to marry He Jianjun.

Lu Chuncao was so angry that she vomited blood, but she couldn’t do anything about her daughter. Liu Hongling was her first child and had suffered a lot with her, so she was particularly partial to her eldest daughter.

Although she was very angry, Lu Chuncao softened her temper and agreed to Liu Hongling marrying He Jianjun.

“Mom, you are so kind. Go talk to grandpa.” Liu Hongling burst into laughter and acted like a spoiled child

, asking Lu Chuncao to persuade Lu Desheng.

“I really owe you. Since you insist on marrying He Jianjun, you have to get married quickly. It’s ugly to have a big belly!”

Lu Chuncao said in a scolding tone. Although she didn’t like He Jianjun, she couldn’t stop her daughter from liking him.

Moreover, He Jianjun was now a platoon leader. If she went to cry and beg in front of her father, her father would definitely be soft-hearted, and it would not be difficult for He Jianjun to get promoted.

Lu Chuncao had no doubt about her position in Lu Desheng’s heart. She was the eldest daughter and had suffered so much. Her father felt particularly guilty about her. As long as her request was not too excessive, her father would satisfy her.

Lu Ye listened at the door for a few minutes, with a sneer on his face. He did not enter the ward and left directly.

Since Liu Hongling insisted on being tied to He Jianjun’s crooked neck tree, he would fulfill this stupid niece’s wish. He Jianjun would give the evidence of others’ credit to the old man after they got married.

Lu Chuncao wanted to kill him back then. He was already a very kind uncle for not killing Liu Hongling!

He thought about it, with a sly smile on his face, rode his bike to the fruit store, bought all the processed bananas with sesame spots on the skin, and rode back to the hospital to Liu Hongbo’s ward.

Liu Hongbo was seriously injured physically and mentally, and he looked listless. Lu Ye did not waste words and directly fed bananas to his eldest nephew. Liu Hongbo refused to eat, so he forced it.

After forcing all the processed bananas into his mouth, six in total, Liu Hongbo choked and rolled his eyes.

Ten minutes later, Liu Hongbo’s expression became strange. He wanted to endure it, but he really couldn’t. He had to endure the severe pain in his anus and moved to the bathroom with difficulty. After the ejaculation

, Liu Hongbo almost fainted from the pain. The wound on his anus that had just been sutured opened again, and blood was all over his stool.

Lu Ye covered his nose and admired it at the door of the bathroom for a long time before leaving with satisfaction. Ruan

Qiqi originally planned to return to her hometown, but Lu Ye said that there was more to come, so she stayed. Anyway, Lu Desheng would reimburse all the accommodation and hospitality expenses.

Four days later, Lu Ye brought a piece of news, “He Jianjun and Liu Hongling got the marriage certificate.”
